Yesterday was a little crazy, so today I thought I'd post something a little lighter.

We have rules in our house, just like everyone else does. No hitting, No screaming, No teasing - your typical household set. One of our rules is not to say mean words, like "stupid" or other possibly offensive language like "Oh, God" (for those who are offended by taking the Lord's name in vain). Nothing solicits a good head jerk from the frozen food section at the grocery like a little kid yelling, "Oh, My God." It just sounds wrong; however, "Oh, Gosh" is perfectly acceptable at our house.

Well, like most parents I break my own rules on occasion, but by accident. I dropped something yesterday and under my breath said, "Oh, God." If my kids hear nothing else in the world, they will for sure hear when I slip on the "God" or "stupid" rule. From another room across the house my daughter yelled "Mommy's making fun of God!!!!" Making fun of God? I don't know where she got it, but it was funny and I really needed the laugh. "Sorry" was all I could manage to say...kids are so funny. Have a great weekend!

You Should Read...

If and when I find time, I am a total book nerd. I love reading, so I am so excited to tell you my friend, Lou Berney, finished his first novel (yes, I am totally envious). His new book, Gutshot Straight: A Novel, is available now in stores.

I am always happy to be mentioned on other sites because, well, it's just nice to get some recognition. It also helps to generate readership and commiserate with anyone looking to share in the insanity of work and motherhood. Follow the links below to see who's saying what:
